What Was I Thinkin Tab

by Dierks Bently


Becky was the beauty from south Alabama,
    
Her daddy had a heart like a nine pound hammer,
   
I think he even did a little time in the slammer,

What was I thinkin'



     
She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate,
    
Her daddy came out a wavin' that twelve guage,
   
we tore out of the drive, he peppered my tailgate,

What was I thinkin'



     
Oh I knew there'd be hell to pay,
    
But that crossed my mind a little too late,



                                        
Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top,
                                   
Sittin' right there in the middle by me,
                                
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss,
                 
Man I just gotta get,
                           
Goin' where the night might lead,
                         -  -  - 
I know what I was feelin' 
                        -  - - - -
But, what was I thinkin'

 (~Same progrresion as before i didnt have tim to put them all in~)

By the county line, the cop's were nippin' on our heels
Pulled off the road, kicked it in four-wheel
Shut off the lights, tore through a corn field
What was I thinkin'


Out the the other side, she was hollerin' "faster"
Took a dirt road, had the radio blastin'
Hit the honky tonk for a little close dancin'
What was I thinkin'

Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay
But, that crossed my mind a little too late



Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top
Sittin' right there in the middle by me
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss 
Man I just gotta get
Goin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin'
But, what was I thinkin

When a mountain of a man with a 'Born To Kill' tattoo
Tried to cut in, I knocked out his front tooth
Ran outside, hood-slidin' like Bo Duke
What was I thinkin'


Finally got her home at half past too late,
Her daddy, in a lawn chair, sittin' on the driveway
Put it in park, and he started my way
What was I thinkin'


Oh...what was I thinkin'

What was I thinkin'
               D#9/5   D#9/5  D#9/5    
Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin
D#9/5                       D#9/5
Like a bullet, we were gone again 



                                        
Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top,
                                   
Sittin' right there in the middle by me,
                                
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss,
                
Man I just gotta get,
                           
Goin' where the night might lead,
                              
I know what I was feelin' 
                              
But, what was I thinkin'
